Flying Fish director Joe Lonie’s ‘Honk If You’re Horny’ wins big at Show Me Shorts Film Festival

Last night at the annual Show Me Shorts Film Festival Flying Fish director Joe Lonie’s 12-minute film ‘Honk If You’re Horny’ won best actor award for veteran actor Andy Anderson as the lead taxi driver, best director and the best film.

With this festival being New Zealand’s only Academy Award-accredited film event, the best film winner – Lonie maybe up for consideration in next year’s Oscar short film nominations.

Says Lonie: “It was a massive night for Honk. We were always trying to make the film as entertaining as possible, hoping that if we did so with heart and total commitment that it would have depth, too. I’m just so happy that the Show Me Shorts judges could see it.”
